"Assaulted by my boyfriend"

At 18 years old, I found out my boyfriend of two years had been cheating on me the whole time, and when I confronted him about it he assaulted me in the alley behind his house. It was COVID times and I wasn’t seeing anyone to talk about it, I didn’t even realise what had happened until much later. Four years later, I think about it daily, and how I wish I would’ve known at the time it wasn’t my fault, and I should go and get help.
